CONSOL CEO Highlights Gas Production, Talks Power
Based on current operating conditions and future prices for coal and natural gas, CONSOL Energy CEO J. Brett Harvey told investors last Thursday at the Friedman Billings Ramsey 8th Annual Investor Conference in Washington, DC, that he expects the company to earn approximately $0.50/share for the six-month period ending Dec. 31, which falls $0.34/share short of Wall Street estimates of $0.84/share for the six-month transition period.
Correction
A story that ran in NGI’s Daily Gas Price Index on Sept. 7 titled, “CONSOL CEO Highlights Gas Production, Talks Power,” incorrectly reported the difference between analysts’ estimates of CONSOL Energy earnings and CEO J. Brett Harvey’s guidance for the six month period ending Dec. 31. Harvey told investors last Thursday at the Friedman Billings Ramsey 8th Annual Investor Conference in Washington, DC, that he expects the company to earn about $0.50/share for the six-month period, which is $0.34 below Wall Street estimates of $0.84/share for the six-month transition period ending Dec. 31. NGI regrets the error. In addition, CONSOL Energy issued a correction to its news release on Friday. CONSOL Energy acquired “366 Bcf” rather than “366 MMcf” as originally issued on Thursday.
